It's not like Onyewu was doing anything at all. I'd actually call his defending god awful. So, I say it's worth a shot.

He wasn't having a great World Cup, but he's still better than Bornstein. Still, I think the USA wins 2-1.</p>

any big physical strikers...or even midfielders. Gooch really isn't needed on a bad knee.

It wasn't good at times, but he made a couple of crucial plays when we needed them. The Algerians are pretty small (if I remember correctly), so he would have dominated in the air. Bradley may be gambling that we advance and is giving Gooch extra rest days to be ready for the knockout rounds. He is either a genius or fired......

Torres didn't look ready for prime timelast game. I thought Gomez played OK when he came in- with Findley out I think he's a good choice. Onyewu for Bornstein normally worries me, but Onyewu didn't exactly play well last game and is probably not 100%- especially after the first 2 games on his new knee. However, I wouldn't be suprised if he subbed in 2nd half.

however, Bornstein is turrrrrrrrrrrrable.

I think it will be 3-1 good guys. I'd like to see a Portugal vs. North Korea type of blowout, but I'd behappy with a2 goal win and winning our group (barring England only beats Slovenia by 1 goal or if they tie).

Looks like Bornstein is in to make runs up field from the back. He's been forward quite a lot.

Here's a good rule of thumb for everyone on our team but Dempsey. If you and Donovan are poised to strike the same ball for an easy goal, let Donovan take it.

Slovenia gets a goal against England in the 89th minute. We see this, get excited over it, then Algeria gets their only goal of the tournament in extra time.
